I would point out that, getting karma using submission isn't that hard. Considering that Hacker News is very tolerant to re-submissions, you can usually land your submission to front page, posting some of the many awesome articles that you might have read from here. Some of the articles have been posted dozens of times, yet they articulate interesting discussion, even after being posted nth-time.

- dang 11y agoTrue, but there are two distinct cases. 1. You post something awesome that you saw on HN that didn't get any traction. This we encourage! It's a kind of community service and deserves karma, though arguably the original submitter should share some. 2. You post something that has had significant attention on HN already. This is ok, but only for the very best stories and only after a year or so (cf. the FAQ linked at the bottom of the page).
- shubhamjain 11y agoDoes HN penalize submission violating the second point?
